S54 is going to be pretty interesting because I want to see what even is going to change in their builds. For me personally, I'm only going to make some small adjustments because I enjoyed my sniper build this season. I'm thinking about changing some physical stats but nothing too crazy. I think for sure the New England Wolfpack is going to continue their dominance at the top of the standings simply because their team is loaded with high TPE players so their builds are still going to be fantastic even if they change them. Of course, Hamilton is going to be at the top again because even though they may not have the higher overall players, they are always smart with their strategies and player builds. I know that the Winnipeg Jets could be a good team but it's going to take a lot of work. We are only a couple of seasons away from being at our prime but I think we can start to compete as early as next season if we play our best hockey.



For me, it has to be someone from the Hamilton Steelhawks. They know how to build their players and the strategies that it takes for them to be productive. Whether it is on the offensive side of the ice or even on the defensive side, they will have a new of players that will always be in the top 10 for the next couple of years at least. I think the easy answer is that Geezus Kryyst will probably be able to snatch the award for the best goalie in a future season. There will be some tough competition but if Hamilton continues to excel with their strategies, he will continue to be a top 3 goalie every season and will be destined to take the award home.



This is a very interesting topic because I don't usually agree with adding a ton of awards because I think awards should go to only a few people or else it's just going to end up being everyone goes home with an award and I don't think that's what we want. Although for the sake of this task, I think there should be an award for the player that gains the most TPE in a season cycle. The person should be recognized for the time they spend on the website and the dedication they put into their player. I'm not sure which player gains the most TPE but I would probably name it the Ola Wagstrom award because I know he's always putting in the work to gain the most TPE as possible especially when they hand out the +1 TPE for participation in threads. Wagstrom would probably win the award this season but it might give some players the push they need to continue at it if there's an award for all their hard work.



Since its the first season that IIHF is going to be played under this format and with a new sim engine, I really have no idea what's going to happen. There's always some crazy stuff that goes on with the competition regardless and now that all these new things are being added, I think it's going to be something that I'll have fun watching unfold. Obviously, I think these like Sweden, Great Britain, and Germany will continue to do well and dominate and will probably all end up going home with some sort of silverware at the end. For my sake, I'm just hoping that Latvia gets to the medal round. After participating with the team for a couple of seasons and almost always coming up short, it would be nice to finally get to play for something. Our team is getting better and better and I hope we can finally get the chemistry working amongst ourselves and make it out of the group stage. It's going to be a very tough task because there are so many good teams but I think we'll be up for the challenge.



My favorite point task of the entire finals. The one that I always get to do because I'm never early to these sorts of things and always wait until the end. Congratulations to the Hamilton Steelhawks for winning the Challenge Cup! Even though I didn't watch any of their games, I'm sure it was an exciting one for everyone to watch. It's hard not to give it to Tony Pepperoni after finishing the postseason with 7 more points than the player in second place but I can't see myself giving it to the player on a losing team. Therefore, I think I would give the MVP award to Geezut Kryyst. He finished the playoffs with a 12-3 record with a 1.71 GAA and 0.941 SV% so I think it's not even close.
